As the shocking devastation of the recent disasters in Japan continue to unfold, The Environment Centre NT expresses its sincere sympathy to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Our thoughts are also with those who have been evacuated from their homes, workers put at risk and those exposed to radiation due to the escalating crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
...
A series of vigils have been organised nationwide to come together and express sympathy and show support for those who have been affected in Japan and abroad, for those who have lost family and friends.
